3.5/4

This is a nice, light salad. I like the twist of serving the beans still slightly warm is different from what I normally do with a bean salad. Most notably, however, I cut the amount of oil in half and I still felt like it was too much oil. I also added some mustard I had in the fridge, a decision that gave the dressing more flavor. I'd recommend adding no more than 1/2 cup oil, if not less!

I made this last 4th of July and
just came back searching for it.
This was so simple and good and got
better as the days went on. Weird,
it is one of the only foods I have
ever become "addicted" to and
craved -- I was eating it by the
bowl fulls for lunch a week after
the party.I'll post if the same
holds true after this July 4th week
of party/guests.

This was even better the next day. I would use less oil next time. Also, I am new to cooking and would like to know if anyone has suggestions on how to make this easier. Would canned beans taste as good? I'm leaving the green beans out next time and replacing them with something else. I didn't like how they tasted in this. Any suggestions.

Very tasty, simple
and versatile since
you could easily
switch up the
combination of
beans. The olive
oil gives a
richness that isn't
overly heavy and
the fresh squeezed
lemon juice
lightens up the
flavor of the
marinade even
more. I drained
off the excess
oil/juice mixture
after several hours
and used it as a
dressing for cooked
fresh spinach,
sliced tomatoes,
and fresh
mozzarella. I also
enjoyed the bean
salad straight out
of the fridge when
I was too impatient
to bring it to room
temperature first.

A new summer staple. I made with with canned black soy beans instead of black eyed peas - it was an instant hit.

I've made this twice this week and is it absolutely delicious. My only changes were edamame instead of lima beans because I like it better and canned black-eyed peas instead of frozen because I couldn't find frozen.
